Conor McGregor has been pretty active in aiding society during COVID-19. From donating medical kits in hospitals to preaching lockdown protocols, ‘The Notorious’ seemingly extended his limits during the deadly pandemic.

While things are slowly starting to get back on track with eased out lockdowns, McGregor appears agitated about a particular decision of the Irish government.

The UFC sensation potentially wants the liquor bars to re-open, for which he took to Twitter and voiced his opinion over the biases between food and liquor outlets.

Conor McGregor says food doesn’t make us safer

McGregor tweeted out and revealed that Ireland has allowed the pubs to reopen. Pubs that serve both food and liquor will take up their shutters.

However, pubs that offer only liquor will still remain under lock and key. That said, McGregor is unhappy with the decision.

The Notorious believes that food will not make us safer, rather responsible citizens would, citing his favor to open up all the pubs.

Twitter reacts to McGregor

As usual, McGregor’s recent tweet has brought people in a flock to state their opinion and react to it.

Social media influencer Kavos took  a dig at McGregor and wrote, “Basically you just want a drink?”

A user clarified that the world has got much bigger problems to deal with, currently.

Yet another user wrote that liquor would force people to be careless, which can be fatally injurious.

When will the Notorious return to UFC?

McGregor, 32, is currently relishing on his retired life from UFC. A few months back, the Irishman took to Twitter and shocked everyone by announcing his retirement.

Later, he cited boredom as one of the sole reasons behind his decision. However, he has broken retirement several times in the past, and considering his age, McGregor can repeat that in the future too.

Yet, for the timing, McGregor appears to be pretty indulged in his whiskey business and several other ventures. His sports and entertainment enterprise has newly donated to his local football club. Thus McGregor is pretty active in his side roles too.

I recently renovated my old football clubhouse @lourdescelticfootballclub! This club, and clubhouse, is responsible for so many competent, well trained Irish internationals, it’s actually hard to count them all! A phenomenal junior Irish football club, with its grounds located right inside my old housing estate. We sourced fresh Astro for the indoor as well as the outdoor areas. A complete refurb job on the premise, along with an amazing memorial addition in honour of the two great men who founded this great club, John “Bower” Bradley and Eddie Roche! What this place has done for the community and it’s children since 1957 is unparalleled, and I am honoured to give back to where it all began for me! I’ve often told a story of the days I used to kick a ball against a wall and run off celebrating like I’d just scored in a big stadium, with thousands of fans cheering me on. This was right inside these halls! And just around the corner from my home. I’d waltz around seconds before the training began, bang in 40 goals, and waltz home full of enthusiasm. Full of dreams! I didn’t know it at the time but this was the early stages of my visualisation journey. Dreaming things into reality, backed up with committed, hard work! It is hard to stop someone with these two assets! Dream it. Work for it! Achieve it. It may have been a different sport for me in the end, but it all began right here! Booting something and running off celebrating. What a club! This is the beginning of the rebirth of Lourdes Celtic football club! I will be bringing my knowledge of preparation back to the club also. Lesson number 1 – If you are truly serious about this. Two sessions a week, with one match at the weekends, is not enough. Sit on that we’ll return to it later. Anyways what a buzz! Can’t wait to have my son Conor Jnr. and my daughter Croía in the yellow and green of Lourdes! Fortius quo Fidelius! ❤️ Strength through loyalty! ❤️ #McGregorSportsDevelopment
